Place: St Mungos
Time: October 1st 2020
Characters Involved: Rowena Covington and Max Kameren
What even was sleep? Rowena Covington thought to herself as she shrugged on her Healer Robes and smothered a yawn. Her brain was still wholly focused on the assignment she'd just completed for her medical studies at the University of Nottingham. Term had only started a week ago, but she liked to get as much as she could done before things went too crazy. And she'd been rather lucky that just last week she'd assisted on a bowel operation, though of course Magic tended to make things a little simpler than the Muggle counterpart. The biology was the same though and that had been all she really needed details on. Nevertheless, the past two years had been exhausting and she was not looking forward to her 3rd year and the dissertation that would bring. Not to mention the volunteering at Queen's that her university tutors had insisted she do. All on top of a fulltime job and traineeship at St Mungos Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries. No, sleep was no longer something Rowena was familiar with.
And yet there was no choice in the matter. Her mother was quickly deteriorating and she was the only one who had to potential to fix it. If only Mungos would let her start her own research! But she was still considered too young, despite her glowing results thus far, and she was met with the same answer again and again. When you are granted full Healer status. Which would normally be in another 4 years! Completely unacceptable. So of course she'd given herself more work and was aiming to complete this first stage within the next year. If she could finish both her Muggle Degree and this traineeship together then she could really start her work on the Alzheimers research which was really the whole point of all of this.
She grabbed a large bar of Honeydukes chocolate from her locker and left to meet her fellow and their supervisor for this week, Healer Harold Stone. There was talk going around Mungo's ever persistent rumour mill that they were getting this years new Trainees today. But Rowena wasn't focused on that. No today was her day! Third year at Mungos meant they were finally being trusted with their own cases. Still supervised, but she would be in charge. The young witch broke off a piece of chocolate to nibble on as she read the notes floating in front of her, so consumed in her task that she turned the corner without pause and promptly crashed into a tall dark haired stranger, falling to the floor, her notes flying everywhere.
Which was the least of her worries she thought as she began to choke on the chocolate she'd just put in her mouth. She coughed, her eyes watering, glancing around for help when her eyes fell on the reason for her possible early death. "Y-O-YOU!" she spluttered, still trying to get enough air around the treat lodged in her throat. Why wasn't it melting quicker and why was bloody Max Kameren in her hospital wearing Trainee Healer robes?!
